When was the last time you saw a Motorcycle and Sidecar on the road?
I'm guessing I must have seen one, which brought the subject to mind.

But no, nowhere near as common as years gone by...there aren't the insurance breaks for them there used to be TRIKES are far more common now...
The KWAK might be a tad peaky for a chair
Not mine - it's got a GT550 five-speed cluster in it Didn't like the six-speed's ratios...and had several dead GTs about at the time...
If you swap over the selector drum and forks as well, it's one of those sneaky straight in-out swaps the manuals and mechanics don't tell you about
Best tugs I have used were the old 350 Jawa 2 stroke, the VT500e and my current ntv 650 mainly for the shaft drive, Jap bikes all have the final drive chain on the wrong side for sidecars in the U.K.
It was at the roundabout by Rochester Airport in case it was any of you
My enclosed Hi-back Velorex chair is an excellent light weight chair with its own brake, the seat back and base can be changed into a bed for overnight use so no need to carry a tent plus it has a roll bar for safety, it is also heated via a rerouted exhaust system, has its own stereo, internal lighting, 12 volt and 240 volt (150 watt) power outlets.
Squire, that name did come to mind, I was going to hunt about to see if they were still a going concern.
There was going to be a supplementary question, if anyone had seen any modern kit with sidecar.
Surprised I got a response at all, to be honest.
PS agree with earlier poster.......
GPZ not suited for a side car.

You can still buy Jawa outfits including a model with a tradesmans box, Neval and Ural Russian manufacturers also sell complete outfits, some with 2 wheel drive and a reverse gear though they are traditional machines based on WW2 designs but very durable and easy to work on.

Oh, I did go for a looksee as I was typing the post.
Nice picture of the trailer combo and getting the knees down.
Now I think about it, I've seen a tow bar, but no Bike with trailer in real life that I can remember.
Sounds awesome :cool:
Quite common on the back of older Gold Wings and Aspencades still...but it's rare nowadays to see them on the back of anything else.
And on trikes, of course!
It was probably a 'wing I saw it on.
Saw a Triked up 'wing Sunday parked outside the pub with another 'wing.
Random aside, you've sent me off googling again, did the Kawasaki Voyager make it to the UK, I don't remember it.
